Destiny To Include Full Story Mode, Competitive Multiplayer

Bungie’s Destiny ran on some super-secret PS4 dev kits at E3, but that’s not the half of what DeeJ, Bungie’s community manager revealed in the comments section of the US PS Blog recently. Details about the game’s story mode and competitive multiplayer were also divulged.

Responding to a comment wanting to know if the game ran on PS4 dev kits at E3, DeeJ said:

What we took to E3 were our super-secret dev kits. Those are the hardware tools we’re using to make the game. If you thought that looked pretty, you can totally expect that level of polish on your PS4. The great thing about our new engine is that it lets us squeeze every bit of awesome out of every platform.

When asked if Destiny would feature competitive multiplayer, DeeJ confirmed it:

One of things that we love to say about Destiny is that is has activities for your every mood. Competitive Multiplayer will absolutely be one of them. Like you, I was a digital warrior in all the Halo games. It’s why I have my job. I’m loving the way multiplayer is shaping up in Destiny. Joining a Fireteam to reconquer our solar system with your friends will be fun, but so will battling your fellow Guardians for glory.

On the game’s singleplayer campaign, DeeJ added:

I can tell you that Destiny will revolve around a rich narrative that is deeper than any story we’ve ever told. While this world will be populated by other players, there is nothing stopping you from charging through and crafting your own adventure unaided by other gamers – although you may find yourself wishing for an ally or two when the Fallen drop a Devil Walker packed with sweet loot in your path.

And what about Clans, will there be any in Destiny? Yes.

The game is built from the ground up to be more fun when you play it with your friends. Destiny places a deep emphasis on the social aspects of playing an online multuplayer game. While I can’t confirm clan support or the existence of clans at this time, I can tell you that I’ll be playing this game with a clan that I started on Bungie.net back in Halo 2. If you need real estate to start your own clubhouse and recruit people to join your Fireteams, you can start your own private group on our site.

To close, DeeJ revealed that there was lots more to be revealed about the game, promising that “bombs” will drop in the coming months.
